It's very misleading, and I can't help but imagine that even an aspiring financier like me will slip up every once in a while and record the wrong thing on my data spreadsheet. You make a very valid point, especially since that is how the SP one works. I believe we are considering this a defect and filing a report on it now. :) It's going to be a low priority thing though, so no ETA on a fix.
Rather than change this, you should probably clarify the "payout." For the income screen, the big circle (including the taxes) measures the real payout received from the mission. The tax is based on that, the big circle. Meanwhile, for skillpoints, the raw, pre-booster amount is the "payout," even though the booster bonus is shown as part of the pie graph.
Really, if you want it to make sense, the pre-tax and pre-booster numbers should be the ones emphasized, because those are the only numbers derived from game performance and time spent.
Currently, the design of the skillpoint display serves no purpose except to show you if you're missing out on booster points.
Basically, the whole thing needs a redesign, and I don't think the booster display should be in pie-chart format. |

WHY WHY WHY WHY ????
is it just because "well a single rate would be simpler."
or is it because adding a second tax rate variable would be a technical challenge?
Eve players have been asking for greater control over corporation tax mechanics for years and years, particularly the ability to tax different activities at different rates. Here we've got two completely different activities, generating two different currencies, where the tax proceeds go into two completely different wallets and cannot even be exchanged... What possible justification is there to make the tax rates a single rate? |
